Supply Chain Management
A supply chain is a set of organizations directly linked
by one or more of the upstream and downstream flows
of products, services, finances, and information from a
source to a customer. Managing a supply chain is 'supply
chain management'
Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of
a network of interconnected businesses involved in the
ultimate provision of product and service packages
required by end customers. Supply chain management
spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-
in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of
origin to point of consumption (supply chain).

Supply Chain Uncertainty
21
What the supply chain is not
The definitions described and developed
earlier and recent industry collaborative
activities indicate that supply chain
management is not a standalone process.
Many supply chain efforts have fallen short of
the potential advantages because the term is
often viewed as only relating to the supply
side of the business or to the purchasing
function. As indicated above, supply chain
management is much more that just
procurement.
22
Among the misunderstanding
evidenced, SCM is not:
Inventory management;
Logistics management;
Supplier partnerships;
Driven from the supply side;
A shipping strategy;
Distribution management;
The logistics pipeline;
Procurement
A computer system
23
Reasons for the slow growth of integrated
SCM include the following:
Lack of guidelines for creating alliances with
supply chain partners.
Failure to develop measures for monitoring
alliances.
Inability to broaden the supply chain vision
beyond procurement or product distribution
to encompass larger business processes.
Inability to integrate the company internal
procedures.
24
Reasons cont…….
Lack of trust inside and outside a company.
Organizational resistance to the concept.
Lack of buyin-by top managers.
Lack of integrated information systems and
electronic commerce linking firms.

SUPPLY CHAIN INCLUDES :
◦ MATERIAL FLOWS
◦ INFORMATION FLOWS
◦ FINANCIAL FLOWS
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IS
FACILITATED BY :
◦ PROCESSES
◦ STRUCTURE
◦ TECHNOLOGY
Supply chain serves two functions:
◦ Physical
◦ Market mediation
Supply chain objectives may differ from
situation to situation.
For functional products, cost efficiency is the
critical factor.
For innovative products, responsiveness is the
important factor.
Leanness + Agility together make up Leagility

Supply Chain Management – Key Issues
ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Network Planning • Warehouse locations and capacities
• Plant locations and production levels
• Transportation flows between facilities to minimize cost and time
Inventory Control • How should inventory be managed?
• Why does inventory fluctuate and what strategies minimize this?
Distribution Strategies • Selection of distribution strategies (e.g., direct ship vs. cross-docking)
• How many cross-dock points are needed?
• Cost/Benefits of different strategies
Integration and Strategic • How can integration with partners be achieved?
Partnering • What level of integration is best?
• What information and processes can be shared?
• What partnerships should be implemented and in which situations?
Outsourcing & Procurement • What are our core supply chain capabilities and which are not?
Strategies • Does our product design mandate different outsourcing approaches?
• Risk management
Product Design • How are inventory holding and transportation costs affected by product
design?
• How does product design enable mass customization?

Decision Phases in a Supply Chain
• Successful supply chain management requires
many decisions relating to the flow of
information, product and funds.
•Each decision should be made to raise the
supply chain surplus
•Decisions fall into three categories depending
on;
•Frequency of each decision.
•Time frame during which decision has an impact.
•Each category of decision has to consider
uncertainty over the decision horizon.

Information Technology: A Supply Chain
Enabler
Information links all aspects Bar code and point-of-sale
of supply chain ◦ data creates an instantaneous
E-business computer record of a sale
◦ replacement of physical Radio frequency identification
business processes with (RFID)
electronic ones ◦ technology can send product
Electronic data interchange data from an item to a reader
(EDI) via radio waves
◦ a computer-to-computer Internet
exchange of business ◦ allows companies to
documents communicate with suppliers,
customers, shippers and other
businesses around the world,
instantaneously
E-business and Supply Chain
Cost savings and price reductions
Reduction or elimination of the role of

Benefits of Supply Chain Collaboration
◦ Information systems
◦ Systems infrastructure
◦ Decision support systems
◦ Planning mechanisms
Coordinated ◦ Information sharing
Collaboration ◦ Process understanding
Higher levels of
collaboration imply the
Cooperative need for both trading
Collaboration partners to have
equivalent (or close) levels
of supply chain maturity
Synchronized collaboration
demands joint planning,
R&D and sharing of
information and
Transactional

Emerging Best Practices in SCM Strategy
60
Supply Chain Integration
Procurement
◦ purchase of goods and services from suppliers
On-demand (direct response) delivery
◦ requires supplier to deliver goods when demanded by
customer
Continuous replenishment
◦ supplying orders in a short period of time according to
a predetermined schedule
Cross-enterprise teams coordinate processes
between company and supplier
Outsourcing
Sourcing
◦ selection of suppliers
Outsourcing
◦ purchase of goods and services from an outside
supplier
Core competencies
◦ what a company does best
Single sourcing
◦ a company purchases goods and services from
only a few (or one) suppliers
E-Procurement
Direct purchase from suppliers over the
Internet
Direct products go directly into production
process a product, indirect products not
E-marketplaces
◦ web sites where companies and suppliers conduct
business-to-business activities
Reverse auction
◦ a company posts orders on the Internet for suppliers
to bid on

Other Measures of Supply Chain
Performance
Process Control

supply chain

(SCOR)
◦ establish targets to achieve “best in class”
performance
GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Definition of GSCM
GSC is a method to design and/or
redesign the supply chain that
incorporates recycling and
remanufacturing into the production
process and it involves minimization of
the firm’s total environmental impact
from start to finish of the supply chain
and also from beginning to end of the
product life cycle.
The practice
This refers to supply chain management functions which
include:
◦ Green purchasing (in-bound logistics)
◦ Design for the environment (internal supply chain)
◦ Green marketing (out-bound logistics)
◦ Reverse logistics
